<p>Certainly! Here’s a step-by-step guide to install, configure, and
start Apache Zookeeper on Windows:</p>
<ol type="1">
<li><p><strong>Download Zookeeper</strong>:</p>
<p>Visit the official <a
href="https://zookeeper.apache.org/releases.html">Apache Zookeeper
download page</a> and select the version you want to install. Download
the binary distribution for Windows.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>Extract the Archive</strong>:</p>
<p>After downloading, extract the downloaded ZIP archive to a location
of your choice using a tool like 7-Zip or the built-in Windows
extraction tool.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>Configure Zookeeper</strong>:</p>
<p>Navigate to the <code>conf</code> directory inside the extracted
Zookeeper directory. You’ll find a file named
<code>zoo_sample.cfg</code>. Make a copy of this file and rename it to
<code>zoo.cfg</code>.</p>
<p>Open <code>zoo.cfg</code> in a text editor like Notepad to configure
Zookeeper settings. Some important configurations to consider are:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>dataDir</code>: This specifies the directory where Zookeeper
will store data.</li>
<li><code>clientPort</code>: The port at which Zookeeper will accept
client connections.</li>
</ul></li>
<li><p><strong>Start Zookeeper</strong>:</p>
<p>Open a Command Prompt and navigate to the Zookeeper directory. Then
run the following command to start Zookeeper:</p>
<div class="sourceCode" id="cb1"><pre
class="sourceCode cmd"><code class="sourceCode dosbat"><span id="cb1-1"><a href="#cb1-1" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a>bin\zkServer.cmd</span></code></pre></div>
<p>This will start Zookeeper using the configurations in
<code>zoo.cfg</code>.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>Verify Zookeeper Status</strong>:</p>
<p>You can check the status of Zookeeper using the following
command:</p>
<div class="sourceCode" id="cb2"><pre
class="sourceCode cmd"><code class="sourceCode dosbat"><span id="cb2-1"><a href="#cb2-1" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a>bin\zkServer.cmd status</span></code></pre></div>
<p>If everything is set up correctly, it should indicate that Zookeeper
is running.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>Connect to Zookeeper</strong>:</p>
<p>You can connect to the Zookeeper ensemble using a Zookeeper client.
Open a new Command Prompt and use the following command:</p>
<div class="sourceCode" id="cb3"><pre
class="sourceCode cmd"><code class="sourceCode dosbat"><span id="cb3-1"><a href="#cb3-1" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a>bin\zkCli.cmd <span class="at">-server</span> localhost:2181</span></code></pre></div>
<p>This connects you to the Zookeeper server running on
<code>localhost</code> at port <code>2181</code>. From here, you can
interact with the Zookeeper ensemble.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Remember to adjust configurations and commands based on your specific
environment and requirements. Zookeeper is now installed, configured,
and running on your Windows system!</p>
